Scenario 1: in Philosophy 2 class the other day, I asked the guy in front of me to ask the people in front to pass the register back so that the people who came late could sign. I watched the message go down, and by about the 3rd person, it was lost. Like broken telephone where the players just lost interest.
Scenario 2: Again in Philosophy, in the first year tut, as the register had finished circulating the class,the guy who got it last raised it so that anyone who hadn’t signed would put up their hand, without disrupting the tutor, or so one would think… when a girl in the middle sitting on the floor raises her hand, the guy gets up and walks to her to hand her the sheet!
Why do people have this logic block?! Just pass it on! Give it to the next person to pass on and start a train. Have some faith in you fellow being!! They are in the same position as you, how much stupider could they possibly be than you?! Why do people have this mentality that they have to do everything alone? Why do people rely on one another so little? Why is trust such a scarce thing to find? And why are people so negative?!
You see someone do something, or you see something lying around or you over hear someone saying something…. and immediately we think: “What the HELL is wrong with these people?!” without digging a little deeper. Have some empathy for the people around you!! You see some girl wearing a really short skirt and your average person will think: “slut” but if you were in that position, think about it… maybe you’re in a rush, got it from a friend, thought it looked nice and didn’t have time to change or you would be late for class. Maybe that random chick that you don’t know at all just had something in her eye and really didn’t roll her eyes at you. Maybe he was about to sneeze and not sneering at you. Why are people so cynical? I can promise you that you have been in the same position and you have no idea!
Just think a little longer, wonder a little more. But be realistic!! Mense kan mos maar net vir ‘n slag hulle koppe reg gebruik, of hoe?
